ARTHUR GOULD, REPUBLICAN, ELECTED IN MAINE Stirring Scenes in Political Fight--Gives Republican Majority in U. S. Sen. VOLUME XLIV NO. 4 CONV Thoma Plea for th ARTHU Stirring S Convict Kills Convict. A remarkable scene took place in the Richmond Circuit Court last Wednesday morning, Judge R Carter Scott, presiding, when the case of Thomas Mack, a colored convict charged with killing Robert Brooks, a white convict was called for trial. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome, the noted colored lawyer of Newport News was his attorney and the case had been set for trial at 10 o'clock. At the appointed hour counsel had not appeared and it looked as though Judge Scott would appoint counsel for him and proceed with the trial. A telegram was received however stating that Attorney Newsome had been unavoidably delayed and would reach the city at 11:30 A. M. DELAYED TRIAL Judge, Scott accommodatingly delayed the trial and retired to his office. 11:30 passed and then as the hands of the clock were passing 11:45. Attorney Newsome with a male and a female witness strode into the courtroom. The news spread and a few moments later Sheriff Mercer had informed the officials of the Court. Judge Scott resumed the bench upon this information and the trial proceeded. Attorney Newsome was assisted by Attorney F J Thorogood of Norfolk, who happened to be in the city upon legal business. THE INDICTMENT SEVERE The indictment which was read set forth that Thomas Mack on June 1st struck Robert Brooks, while at work in Carroll County, with a pick axe, the blow landing in the back of his neck. Inluring the fifth cervical vertebra, spinal column and other vital organs. The bury was empanelled. Commonwealth's Atty, Dave E. Sattferfield represented the prosecution Upon a call of the clerk for Thomas Mack to plead guilty or not guilty. Attorney Newsome quietly arose and entered a plea of "guilty." Some question arose as to whether this meant a plea of first degree murder, but he insisted that he entered a plea of murder, which left it to the (Continued on page 8.)

POWELL, Pres SCOTT C BURRELL, Genl Secty. Mr. Isaac Troy of Portsmouth. Va. was called to the city on account of the death of his niece, Mrs. Eugenia Oliver Scott Mr Troy is the son of the late Rev. Wm Troy, of this city. Richmond, Virginia. Nov. 22, 1926. Editor Richmond Times-Dispatch. Dear Sir: At the regular meeting today of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity, our attention was called to your editorial of yesterday, "It is not ridicule." You state with a degree of pleasure that a number of prominent Negroes sent on your request, as well as volunteered, the information that the odd column, "Good morning, Judge," did not offend their sensibilities. This conference of ministers begs to say that it would be interesting to them to know who those prominent Negroes were since none of the members of our conference was given an opportunity to answer your questionnaire. Further, our conference, the members of whom are daily readers of your paper, voted to go on record as approving and supporting the stand taken by Dr Gordon B. Hancock, whose letter appeared in your paper. The column "Good morning, Judge" is not free from offence to our sensibilis es and we would deem it a high sense of appreciation for the view-point of an important group of Richmond Negroes were the column abolished. The column would serve a higher purpose if it were devoted to that type of activities among us which really represent the race, but seldom finds space in your paper. If the only thing needed to abolish the column in question is adverse sentiment from a representative group of Richmond Negroes, this sentiment has been officially expressed by the Baptist Minister's conference of Richmond and vicinity. Respectfully, Conference Committee. W. L. RANSOME Chairman. W. H. STOKES A. W. BROWN, L. H. DICKERSON J. A. BRINKLEY, Secretary. NOTICE A Meeting of the representatives from the various lodges of the city will be held, on the second Tuesday night in December to make arrangements for the installation of the officers of the Knights of Pythias' lodges.

Broad Street, took place last Monday night with the result that Joe Grammon, 29 years of age of 212 Nicholson Street, Fulton, is dead and in the hands of Funeral Director R. C. Scott and Robert Herbert who resided at 1419 E. Broad Street, is said to be in a most serious condition at St Philip's Hospital. Grammon is said to have had a wound in the abdomen from a previous altercation, when he entered Herbert's rooms. He got into an argument with Herbert and both men resorted to the use of revolvers, when Grammon received a bullet in the neck and another in the side of his chest, resulting in instant death. Herbert was shot through the stomach by Grammon and his case is regarded as hopeless. WITH THE FIRST (AFRICAN) BAPTIST CHURCH Sunday School, Corner 14th and Broad Streets. Prof. W. I.

Program of Services: Hymn 245, Amazing Sight the Savior Stands, Reading 107th Psalm, O give thanks unto the Lord; Prayer by Rev. J. L. Lovings; Singing by the congregation. The report of the committee was encouraging. There was a short talk by Mrs. Sarah Wyatt. Rev Quarles introduced Rev. W. H. Liggins, who had consented to preach the sermon. He took as his text 107th Psalm 1st verse. O give thanks to the Lord. Indeed he preached to the joy of all his hearers Singing by the congregation. A committee of 12 members was assigned to give a surprise bag to all inmates and orderlies of the home. Rev Quarles told the committee there were 200 bags, so you can go and see how far they will go. At 4:30 P. M. the committee reported that all had been served with a bag containing apples, oranges, bananas and cake with the quantity ordered. Committee: George Johnson, Rev.

We pray that there awaits you a greater blessing in 1927 of our Lord REV F. W. QUARLES A. Matthew Henson, the Negro Arctic Explorer, who accompanied Admiral Peary to the North Pole several times and the only Negro to achieve this distinction, will appear at the City Auditorium Friday night December 10, at 8 o'clock. As it will be remembered, Admiral Peary chose Henson in his final dash for the pole because of his expertise in handling Eskimo dogs, together with his expert knowledge of topography and climate. The pictures which Mr. Henson will show were personally made by him and will show some of the hardships which this and other parties had to endure in their dash for the pole. All Richmonders are quite anxious to see pictures of the section of the world which Commander Birdd crossed by airplane. Renewed interest has been manifested in the Peary Expedition since Kudlooktee, a converted Eskimo, confessed recently to the killing of Prof. Ross G. Marvin, one of the leading members of the party Henson writes of this Eskimo and Prof. Marvin in a recent number of the Literary Digest. Dr. Charles S. Morris pastor of 5th Street Baptist Church was Henson's pastor in the City of New York and whose wife sang in his choir. Dr. Morris as well as Dean William Pickens, who recently visited our city, said they saw no reason why Richmond should not pack the Auditorium to hear this noted Negro. On the program with Mr. Henson will appear the Williams Lodge Band and Richmond Choral Club, Madam J. Alverta Glipin and Miss Florence Fields in a musical program which is worth more than the price of admission, which is thirty-five cents for grown people and twenty-five cents for children. Dr A W Brown, pastor of Sixth Mt. Zion, will introduce the speaker.

The choir found it necessary to come to the main floor and use the piano. Rev Dr. Johnson said that the organist found some of the keys out of order it was like radio. He saw Editor John Mitchell, Jr., in the congregation and insisted that he address the body. A few words ended the services. The church is in a most prosperous condition and the divine has been smiling ever since the great success attending his last anniversary exercises DEDICATORY SERVICES AT MT OLIVE BAPTIST CHURCH Mt.

Gould, 73-year-old business man of Presque Isle, was elected United States Senator on the Republican ticket today by a margin of about 50,000 votes over his Democratic rival, Fulton J. Redman of Ellsworth, according to estimates made on returns from all of the twenty cities in the State and nearly one half of the rural precincts. Less than a week ago leaders of both parties expected the fight would be very close, but within the last few days the greatest part of the normally Democratic anti-Klan vote has been turned against Mr. Redman. It is estimated that this made a difference of at least 20,000 votes. While Mr. Redman emphatically denied that he was in any way tied up with the Ku Klux Klan, it was generally believed that this organization was hostile to Mr. Gould. This belief was made stronger when Klan leaders brought charges of illegal primary expenditures against Mr. Gould, and Governor Ralph O. Brewster supported them. Democratic cities like Lewiston, Biddeford and Rockland all went against Mr. Redman, many of his own party voting against him to punish the Klan rather than for any particular animosity toward their candidate. The vote from the rural districts also indicated that the Klan vote did not come out in full, for Mr. Redman showed little strength even in supposedly Klan strongholds. He carried about fifty of the 600 towns in the State by a majority of less than 400 votes. Portland, the largest city in the State gave Mr. Gould a margin of almost 6,000, while Mr. Redman was beaten by 100 votes in his own home, Fellsworth. The twenty cities of the State gave Mr. Gould about 16,000 majority. Aroostock, Mr. Gould's own county gave its candidate a margin of almost 10,000, and the little town of Staghaft threw every one of its 333 ballots for Mr. Gould. Mr. Redman, who is 32 years the junior of the successful candidate, declared before election that if beaten en at the polls he would carry the fight to Washington. He intimated that neither he nor the Democratic leaders were satisfied with the hearing at Augusta when the Secretary of State, sitting as a court, freed Mr. Gould of accusations that he exceeded the legal limit in his expenditures for the primary campaign. 5TH ST. BAPTIST CHURCH CON- TINUES GREAT SERVICES Large Crowds. A Happy Hopful Congregation. Farewell missionary mass meeting for Miss Ruth Morris, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles S. Morris, Sunday afternoon, Dec. 5, 1926 The great and beautiful auditorium of 5th Street Baptist Church was filled with a rapt congregation morning, afternoon, and night last Sunday. Dr. Morris spoke on "How Simon Peter Fell" at the morning service, and "How Christ Restored Him." at the evening service. Next Sunday morning Dr. Morris will meach. In the afternoon the Church voted to give Miss Ruth Morris a farewell missionary meeting before she sails for Liberia, West Africa. Miss Morris is one of a group of children noted for their oratorical ability. Her brother spoke with his father at the Auditorium before Gov. Trinkle and a distinguished group of white and colored citizens. Many like the gracious, magnetic style of Miss Ruth Morris even better. This will be her farewell appearance before sailing about December 15th. READY TO CARVE THE PUDDING By A. B.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. may become a town that had to move. The community of some 10,000 persons has discovered that it has three oil fields; declared by oil men to be without precedent. Black gold was discovered in the northern portion of the city some six years ago. The town grew and prospered. Because the oil derricks were near blocks from the center of town, they are not interfere with stores and homes. Last spring a wildcat well drilled northwest of town discovered a second oil pool. This project was several miles from the center of town and again no fear was felt that oil might cause the removal of the town from its present location. Drill Downtown But a short time ago oil operators, with a "hunch" that oil existed under the entire city, drilled a well within the city limits in the west end of town. A special election had to be called to get necessary permission. The citizens voted to open a few blocks for oil drilling. The well struck oil and a mad rush started, since the first well was drilled more than 100 rigs have been erected and nial AND I KNOW THAT OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF YOUR HEART AND THE UNBOUND GEMBROSITY OF YOUR KINDNESS THAT YOU WILL NOT FAIL TO RESPOND TO MY PLEA.

The Huntington Beach Beach Board has appointed a committee to seek a new location for the city. The chamber of commerce and the city trustees are also interested in the project and have named committees to work with the realtors in seeking a new location for the town in case a move is necessary.

If he can not supply you we will send both by mail on receipt of fifty cents in stamps. NELSON MANUFACTURING COMPANY RICHMOND, VA. steps were taken to set up a strong State Interracial Committee and to vitalize the interracial movement throughout the State. To that end an organization committee was created, consisting of ten members and headed by Mrs. Minnie U. Fuller, a well known leader among the white women of Arkansas. On this committee Judge Scipio Jones, Dr. J. G. Ish, and others will represent the colored group. The organization committee was instructed to select with great care a representative state committee and to make a survey of interracial contacts to be laid before the latter at its first meeting, as a suggestive basis for its program. It is expected that the new State Committee will be called early in 1927, at which time an executive secretary will be named, a program will be la'd out and the work of local organization will begin. Conditions in Arkansas at this time are said to be very favorable to the revival of the interracial movement, which functioned for a while just after the war and then lapsed. The organization meeting was convened and directed by Mrs Jessie Daniel Ames, representing the Commission on Interracial Cooperation.

HAMPTON BEATS UNION PANTHER Hampton Institute, Va., Nov. 25.—The Big Blue and White machine of Hampton Institute marched victoriously over the Union University Pawning Panthers before a throng of 5,000 on Armstrong Field for a score of 12 to 0, which makes them champions of the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association, possessors of the Frank Young trophy and possessors of the Slaughter trophy. The game was full of thrills and excitement from start to finish. The battle was savage and clean, fought with unremitting fierceness, minus any show of rancor. Both teams showed magnificent spirit and the ablest form of coaching as they swayed back and forth between the two 20-yard lines. The teams were so evenly balanced and the defensive strength of them so pronounced that yardage could be bought only at a heavy price and extreme effort. Hampton, however, had a little edge on the Red and Steel eleven by virtue of the fact that the backfield jabbed Union for frequent first downs numbering 13 to 3. The game was played by Hampton without a single substitution while Union made 12 changes. The Red and Steel back field was swift as lightning, but Hampton's forward wall seemed to sift through and break up plays at will. There were dangerous fumbles made by Byrd of Hampton in receiving Breaux's purrs that put Hampton in a dangerous position. Each time Breaux failed to kick for a field goal. Hampton Scores in 2nd Quarter The first score of the battle came in the second quarter when Hampton was held for downs on the 2-yard line and Union was forced to kick after receiving the ball. Breaux was to kick the ball out from behind the goal posts, but in kicking he stepped outside of the end zone, thus counting a safety for Hampton. Union kicked off to Hampton after that and then Hampton returned the punt. Union got possession of the ball and was forced to kick. They kicked short enough to allow Baker to drop kick from the 10-yard line. Thatcher, playing his last game of football for the Blue and White, covered himself with glory as he hit the line for left downs. The Unionites covered Buldog Williams up so that he could not get loose, but Thatcher could make gains almost at will. Baker's kicking was uncounty at all time throughout the fray. "Wild Man" Lee Scores Touchdown Leaving his place on the line and moving into the backfield "Wild Man" Lee drove through the Wide TOBEY AND TYKE LO POP = I'M HAVIN' A AWFUL SNOW BALL BATTLE WITH SOME KIDS = THEY'RE AROUND THE CORNER = from fullback's position for a clean cut 10 yards and a touchdown in the third quarter. It was a spectacle worth seeing, as his huge, bulky form sped through the line of scrimmage. A great yell and howl came from the Seside grandstand and then it died down enough to allow Baker to toe the extra point through the bars. HOWARD DEFEATS ANCIENT FOE HOWARD SMOTHERS LINCOLN IN NEW STADIUM Washington, D. C., Nov. 25.—Before a crowd that jammed to capacity the new Howard University Stadium, the Howard "Bisons" revenged their past grievances against the Lincoln "Lions" by the score of 32 to 0 in the annual football classic of the Negro colleges of the United States, at Howard University. Washington, D. C., on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1926. Not since 1920 when Howard swamped Lincoln 42 to 0 have the Washingtonians had a victory, but this year they made up for their deficit. It was a beautiful clear day, and the crowd was the largest that has ever attended a colored collegiate athletic event. It was Howard's day. The team which had gone through the entire season under the direction of Coach Watson with all victories, took Lincoln's scalp by steady, incessant, hammering, scoring in every period, and gaining eighteen first downs to Lincoln's 58, three of which were made on penalties to Howard. Howard completed three out of ten attempted forward passes for a gain of 58 yards, and Lincoln five out of eighteen for 29 yards. In scrimmage Howard gained 275 1/2 yards to the visitors' 35. Coles, C. Smith, and Dan Brown did stellar ground-gaining for the "Bisons" although there was no sensational running while Thomas, Capt. V. B. Smith and Rainey were towers of strength on the line. Hibbler, Lincoln's quarterback, deserves honorable mention, also Temple, the end, who connected with more than one pass and Captain Grasty, at tackle. But all in all it was not a game of outstanding individual achievements. Rather it was a stronger and faster Howard machine mowing down a weaker and less aggressive Lincoln ensemble. In the piling up of Howard's points C. Smith contributed two touchdowns. Coles contributed two more, and Coles contributed the other by leaping into the air no catch an aerial toss of 26 yards and racing 25 yards more for a touchdown—the only really sensational play of the game. Coles toe was successful only in two of the tries for extra points after touchdown. HOWARD LINCOLN Sallie L. E. Temple V. Smith (C). L. T. Sheftal Ralney L. C. Robinson Martin Center Dyer Kelly R. G.

AUTO DASTER Benjamin Purnell, self-styled king of the famous House of David at Benton Harbor, Michigan, is facing serious statutory charges by Mrs. Reed (right) and Miss Rebel (left), former members of "King Ben's" colony. Purnell who has been sought since the scandal in 1938 is out on $129,000 bond. This Week By Arthur Brisbane WHEN S. O. GETS BUSY. LAFAYETTE YOUNG. DRINK AND LIVE—OR DIET CHINESE PUNISHMENT. A flaming, bursting volcano on an uninhabited island in the Caspian Sea terrified the inhabitants of Baku. It shook the land all about, changed the night's dark clouds into flaming color. Gradually the superstitious inhabitants will get over the shock and forget it. And by this time, probably, agents of Mr. Rockefeller's Standard Oil have been instructed to stake out claims on what is left of that island. The Standard Oil men read in the paper, "Eruptions from the volcano consisted of great columns of oil-soaked earth, accompanied by sheets of flame 300 feet high." The passing of Senator Lafayette Young, of the Des Moines CAPITAL, following closely upon the death of Colonel Nelson of the Kansas City Star, Frank A. Munsey of the New York Sun, and Victor Lawson, of the Chicago Daily News, is a loss to sincere and useful newspaper work in the United States. Lafayette Young devoted his life and all his energy to the welfare of his State and his nation, and both will miss a courageous and able man.

Harriman he would have lived a longer life had he drunk light beer, and relaxed. They even say that teetotalism is safe only for those that do very little thinking, and do that little gently. That's a terrible insult to prohibition and ice water, but that is what able scientists say. They say also, by the way, that a sure path to early death is bootleg whiskey. One-sixth of an inch yearly seems small. But that would be a foot and a half every century, and with such a sinking Pike's Peak would be below the Atlantic Ocean in much less time than it took the horse to change to a one-toed animal. Dr. Milliken says science and feeble human imagination can form no conception of the universe. That is easy to believe. When Professor Michelson, of Chicago University, a great scientist, was asked, "Do you think I might by careful study get some idea of modern mathematics?" he repiled with characteristic modesty, "You might; but I can't understand it." All we know is that it is a very big universe, and that we are small microbes on a little grain of sand. Nevertheless, we have a right to be proud, if only because we can actually think about it and try to understand it. The Chinese have found it necessary in some places to revive ancient methods of punishment. One, most unpleasant, increases the criminal's ears to a gigantic size. Six arrows are pushed through each ear, and left them for days. When they fall out, his ears are enormous. That helps the public to identify criminals. They had another unpleasant punishment in the days of the Empress. The criminal was stretched out and sawed in two lengthwise. That has not yet been revived.

D THE MANIFOLD MENU. Yes, I mean just that. You may see it demonstrated in the "company dinner," whereat people sit down and reverently return thanks (sometimes) for the intimate presence of their worst enemy. If you take the trouble to itemize at any of these feasts, you will discover fifteen or twenty formidable articles of diet, roaring their defiance at the half-dyspent stmache. Appetite, frail at best, and subject to all sorts of intemperance by habit, is, nevertheless, an imperious master that slays remorselessly. The human being that holds his appetite in subjection is a hero worthy of a medal. I once made a professional call to the patient in Dubuque, Iowa, five hundred miles from my home; it was written—the temperature below zero. I partook of noon-dinner with the family, reluctantly, dreading the "company dinner." Imagine my surprise to behold th etable set with the following: a well-done beef-mast, a loaf of rye bread, four baked potatoes and (horrors!) a pint bottle of beer!—one at each plate. There may have been a tomato-relish or a small dish of pickles—I forget; a simple custard was the desert The simplicity of this diet impressed me so that I have never forgotten. It was a German family, very well-to-do. Never had a member of this family suffered from a digestive disorder. So far as the malt drink was concerned, it was my first and only experience of that kind. The healthy man or woman who would remain so, does not need more than two or three articles of food at a sitting, the plainer the better. And, the farther we wander astray, the more abrupt the fall.

BROOKE, widower and hardware magnate, arranges with a firm of efficiency home for two months while he is of town. His three grown children, Constance, Billy and Allie, are members of this arrangement. Not until H. HEDGE, efficiency englancer, the scene do they realise their father's gression. Hedge has cut off H.'s allowance because she has reins. Constance be cause she is finally decided to on the payroll because Alice is still going to school. America the many 'unbeatable things accomplished by Medici and prevention of an eloquence with grace and To any Treadwell the pain actors. Constance seems to be bringing entirely successful face NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY IN the library, after dinner, that night, Hedge was so unsusco- that Constance presently drifted into the music-room, where she played for an hour or so. The effi- ciency man sat at the big desk work- ing furiously over books and reports. He did not once send for his secretary. When finally he reached the matter of accounts he took his memori- um-book from his pocket and began a swift tabulation. The result astonished him so that he checked it up twice, only to be annoyed at the time wasted in verifying a simple sum of addition. "Economy, just the same," he mu- tered, scowling at the figures. "It was a matter of need. I made that necessarily clear to her. There is no possibility she must understand. If I find she did I'll not fail to make it absolutely plain." He chewed an unlighted cigar for several minutes, still scowling. "It's just possible she got the idea," he said, "that money was being spent in the same old reckless fashion. She won't have it long. I'll get it out of her head. I'll do it now!" He arose with decision and strode across the hall in the direction of the music-room. Constance was still sitting at the piano, her back toward him. The efficiency man halted on the threshold, listening and watching. She was quite unconscious of his presence. What she played he did not know. It was alternately lively and melancholy. Her body swayed slightly with the music, rhythmically, buoyantly, sometimes drooping, as though she were a part of the melody itself. H. Hedge swayed likewise, although he did not know it. Then after a little, as the music began to tumer and die away, the efficiency man turned lesslessly and tiptoed back to the library. "I'll tell her tomorrow," he said. Constance, occasionally smiling to herself at a reminiscence, was spending a busy morning in the library. H. Hedge was soemwhere else. This gave her unmolested opportunity to examine the bills from the shops, for one thing. Their dimensions gratified her. Yet even the bills did not occupy chief place in her thoughts. That was reserved for the efficiency man. "He's not nearly so efficient as I thought—poor thing," she murmured as she took up a pile of report cards. "Why, even Tommy Treadwell. Now, as Constance busied herself thus, with all the outward appearance of a secretary, rather than a schemer, she changed notes that the bottom drawer on the desk side of the desk was open about two inches. This was unusual, because the efficiency man had a habit of keeping this drawer locked. Just why, she never knew; but she presumed that he stored personal papers there. She had never taken the least interest in the contents of the drawer. But so long as it was open, she did not make an examination. Pulling it all away out, she explored the contents of the pile of papers, she found a fat, leather-bound book. It took but a glance to identify it as a diary, and the writing on its pages was in the familiar hand of H. Hedge. Nothing is more wickedly fascinating than to read somebody else's diary, in the original, and to realize that you are probably the first intruder. You are probably the first intruder tugged gently at her elbow, but ignored its reminder, although she was conscious of her. Curiosity, one 21 R.S. R.I. SCOTT "It's possible she got the idea that money was being spent in the same old reckless fashion. She won't have it long." of the world's greatest educators, was directing her now; and besides, the diary might have an important bearing upon the campaign. She found the entries rather commonplace at first. They dealt with things wholly outside the Brooke mansion, and prior to the arrival of the efficiency man. The diary was a mixture of closely written script and shorthand. Constance perforated latter, because she could not read it. Even the diary reached the day on which the tool charge of the household, she did find it of much interest. Day after day, for several weeks, it was a simple record of events that she knew only too well; colorless, terse, and with many abbreviations. But then came an entry that caused her to sit straight in the big chair. Will write book. Data and results too valuable to be lost to world. That was news! H. Hedge was go- That was news! H. Hedge was going to write a book. "A novel, I wonder?" murmured Constance. "What a queer novel it would be!" She continued her exploration with the knife in her hands. For several days there was warm reference to a book, unknown hidden to the undecipherable problems. And then: "Good title would be, "Putting the Home on a Business Basis," or, "Knocking the Graft Out of the American Household." Great chance for valuable publication of pioneer writing by the author. Constance was faintly disappointed. The subject sounded dull and unromantic; yet none the less, she had a personal interest in the "pioneer work," as she pursued her investigations further. References to the book became more frequent as the idea laid hold upon the mind of the efficiency man and began to shape itself. She found one, for instance: Devote at least one chapter to waste and inefficiency in homes of late. In scientific methods. Non-producing family members. Money thrown away. Describe wicked triviality of life in average home. Illustration—Brooke. Constance frowned as she gathered from this that her home was to be held up to the world as a horrible example. She wondered if the efficiency man woulde have the hardihood to mention names, and she intended to speak to her father about it as soon as he returned. Then another entry, several days later: Chapter on C. Use her as typical idle rich girl. No occupation. No useful education. Constance gasped, but read on: Lack of mental discipline. No fixed purpose in life. Chief amusement, extravagance. Good material here. Say that C is— At this point the efficiency man dropped into shorthand again, running on for half a page. Constance stared at the hieroglyphics and gritted her teeth. There was no mistaking the identity of "C"—it was herself. And she was going to have an entire chapter! "Say that C is—" Well, what? The shorthand maddened her. Any man, she abruptly decided, who would cloak his opinions in shorthand was a coward. She could not read a single one of the several hundred characters, yet she knew that every hated symbol directly concerned herself. Ah! There was even confirmation of it at the bottom of the page, for here, in longhand, H. Hedge remarked: Above points good. Very effective case. Elaborate carefully. Elaborate, indeed! Constance was becoming as angry as she was curious. She turned a page. Here was more of it: Advisable to subdivide. Make two chapters on C. First, show C as found, representing undesirable type. Second, show C as reformed, after application of scientific methods. Constance's choice may prove Be careful to explain that no aggression is employed. Use accurately, impartially. Use frequent illustrations—acts, words, general attitude of resentment toward efforts to improve. "It's unappeasable!" she exclaimed aloud. "T'll have him publicly whipped from the house—by the servants." And then: Second chapter on C—"As She Is." Trace gradual influence of reform. Show change in attitude. Show how firm insistence on new methods brought results. Note C's willingness to work. Marked change in manner. Happy influence of scientific methods. Point out how typeually represented by C may be transmitted properly direction. Show that dominant attitude is working on scientific lines, can always control weaker mind. Even the C type not hopeless. Show effect of rigid discipline, insistence on authority, mental suggestion, et cetera. Constance flung the manuscript on the table and sprang to her feet. Her hands were clenched and quivering. For an instant she stood irresistible then stepped swiftly across the room and rung for Horace. "Find Mr. Hedge and send him here at once" she commanded. The butter disappeared hastily, alarmed at the expression in her eyes. NEXT GRAFTER: Hedge so救ous efficiency. PIN PONTERS A tow man is a man who goes around Kissing defensel as thief.

Youth, Above All Things, Says Edna EDNA WALLACE HOPPER CHICAGO—What is it that human beings desire above all else? CHICAGO—What is it that human beings desire above all else? Is it money, fame, power, happiness? These guesses are all wrong, according to Edna Wallace Hopper, the 1922 retired old flapper, who recently returned to three months' visit to Paris. Miss Hopper declares that the most coveted desire is for "youth." "More than the loss of money or friends or fame, people fear the passing of youth," declares Miss Hopper "Without that exuberance of spirit and vitality of body that make of life a thrilling adventure, existence is bound to be something of a bore.

Above are two of the British beauties. Miss Julie Suedo and Dolca Conrad. Bedwood, long famous in the West, is soon to be introduced in the market of the East, the South and the Central States. A large tract of Bedwood timber along the Pacific Coast, in Northern California, has been acquired by the Finkbine-Guild Lumber Company, who for many years been prominent Southern timber operators; mills logging railroad, and other equipment has been installed on the property: a fleet of steamships has been purchased, and the squared logs of the great trees have to be transported from terminals at Rockport, Cal., and California City, Cal., across the Bay from San Francisco, by water through the Panama Canal, to Guilford, Miss, thence to the company's mills in Mississippi, and there, thousands of miles from where the trees grew they will be manufactured into various articles of lumber and shipped to points of consumption. The effect of this unique arrangement is to indefinitely prolong the company's manufacturing business in the South, as there is an immense area of Redwood timber available, and the Redwood reforestation plans which have already been put into effect, measure a permanent growth and supply of this wonderful wood Giants of the Forest. Some 3000 Years Old. "The everlasting Redwood" as it is known is the oldest and largest living thing in the world. Many of the trees have attained sizes up to 2000 to 3000 years. The Redwood used for commercial purposes is not, however, the Sequoia Glacier tea, the famous "Big Trees" in the National Parks of the Sierra Nevadas, but is a different species, the Sequoia Sempervirens (Everlasting). The trees attain great heights, varying from 150 to 350 feet, and are extremely large, from 3 to 15 and sometimes 20 feet in diameter. The climatic conditions under which Redwood was grown, the character size and age of the trees, have all no doubt been factors contributing to the development of its splendid qualities as a construction material. Characteristics and Uses of Redwood Although used for many other purposes, Redwood has been found particularly suitable, and a superior wood; for exterior finish (weather-coating, sorries, window and door frames, porches, columns, doors, sash, stiles; for shingles and shakes on roofs and sides of buildings; for sleeping porches, aereous summer houses flower boxes and vases; for greenhouse construction; for interior finish wherever great beauty of figure, freedom from mote or blemishes, and immunity from shrinkage or warping is desired in a finished wood; wherever wide canning from one piece is required; for special farm uses, such as silo construction; and for not-bed sash beehives and incubators; for tanks pipes, flumes, culverts and seaspoils. Redwood is a non- resinous soft wood of a character highly valuable because it is unusually resistant to decay, rot and fire, as well as resistant to the attacks of termites and other wood-destroying insects, and because of its insulating qualities its use is constantly increasing and adequate production and transportation facilities are now being provided in the South, close to the principal consuming markets, to supply the three demands of the future.

I have walked with silent, tread, the marble floors of Westminster Abbey, where a host of Great Britain's heroes and scholars, scientists and sages, kings and men of noble birth and attainments, repose; I have paused amid the tombs of Sweden's noble dead, in the temple that rises above them, in one of her cities of the far North more than once have I visited the city of Paris, where I behold monuments of marble and bronze—visible reminders of the military aspirations and achievements of France—and, in that city, I have looked down, with kindling interest, upon the tomb of Napoleon the Great; I have visited the resting place of Thomas Jefferson, the author of America's Declaration of Independence, and, with keen appreciation of his worth have thought of him as a great statesman, a friend and promoter of liberal culture, and an advocate of justice and liberty, in the interest of all men; I have visited the sacred soil, on the banks of the Potomac, where the remains of George Washington, the first President of the United States of America, are entobed and thought of that military hero and statesman, as the founder of a great government, which, as Americans think, is the freest and best in all the world; I have visited annually, during two score of years, my native city. Richmond, Va., where is the home of the late Mr. Jefferson Davis, President of the Southern Confederacy, and, in the "Capitol Square" and along an avenue of monuments, are seen the statues, in granite and marble and bronze, of soldiers and statesmen, who were in life and are in death the pride and glory of the South; I have visited the consecrated ground, on the Hudson where repose the remains of General Ulysses S. Grant, recognizing in that chieftain the man of iron will, who put an end to the great Civil War, thereby making it possible for me, and the people of my race in America, to possess and enjoy the privileges and advantages which are ours as free and native-born American citizens; yes, I have visited all these places, which are sacred in the memory of nations, and often have I gazed upon statues of Abraham Lincoln, and even upon the Lincoln Memorial at Washington, D.C., which the Nation has erected at great cost, but never, in all these sixty-odd years of my personal free dom, and the freedom of the people of my own blood and kind, have I been so strangely and so tenderly wrought, as, when at Springfield Illinois, on the fifteenth day of September, 1926, I stood over the dead and buried body of Abraham Lincoln, and laid a wreath upon his tomb. Somehow or other, I thought of Jesus of Nazareth, thought of His Life, thought of His vicarious death and sufferings, thought of the manifold blessings of God which are mine in Christ, in fine as I stood over the very body of Abraham Lincoln. I saw in Mr. Lincoln's life and spirit something truly Christ-like and something Christ-like in his death. I am not accustomed to weep, but as I stood and thought, and thought the more, the depths of my affection were broken up, and it was only by resolve effort that I could keep back the tears which for a moment dimmed my sight—tears of love and gratitude. When our little group of visitors was about to turn away from that sacred shrine, Mr. H. W. Fay, the faithful custodian, singled me out, as an ex-slave, and remarked: "Do you wish to say anything?" I reflected a moment, then unbosomed myself after this manner: "Abraham Lincoln saved the government of the United States of America, when its very existence was threatened, and rendered his government the better service still, in issuing his Proclamation of Emancipation, as a death-blow to the institution of slavery, as it existed in the states then at war with the government of the United States. For, Mr. Lincoln realized in his inmost soul, that the institution of slavery was the real cause of the great Civil War, and had been a source of un- Beware of Pains in the Chest Beware of Pains in the Chest OFTEN LEADS TO SERIOUS ILLNESS.

"Precious in the sigh of humanity may the memory of Abraham Lincoln be till time itself shall end, and doubly precious may he be to me and to the people of my race, who have come into the opportunities and glories of this new day." When I had finished my brief statement. I lingered yet a moment longer at the tomb of Mr. Lincoln, and again my soul was wrought. In that moment I felt as though God himself was calling to me to dedicate myself anew to all that is noblest and best in human life, and to work, with greater energy than ever, in righteous self-elevation elevation of race, elevation of all men to whom I may lend a helping hand, or give hope and inspiration; for, after all, Abraham Lincoln was only the instrument through which the omnipotent God answered the cries of America's enslaved millions, working as He ever works and through whom He wills. In times of peace and amid the desolations of war to the accomplishment and glory of His own eternal purpose.

CONVICT ESCAPES CONVICT ESCAPES (Continued From Page 11) jury to decide the deree of murder. CONSULTATION PLEA FAILS Attorney Newsome had held a consultation with Mr. Satterfield with a desire to compromise upon a verdict of life imprisonment, but he would not consent to this. He insisted that the penalty should be death. The witnesses were called, City Coroner J M. Whitfield certified as to the nature of the wound. He examined the body at Biley's handwashing rooms, July 11, 1926. Guard E C. Stevenson testified that on June 1, 1926 in Carroll County, Brooks and Mack were jerking at the handles of a wheelbarrow. He sent a boy there to stop them, but before he got there Brooks had struck Mack shoving him down A DANGEROUS THREAT Mack went to the other end of the stone pile. He heard Mack say, "By God, I'll kill him in three days." Later as they were going in, Mack struck Brooks with the pick. He showed the pick with the dried blood on it. Brooks fell down and Mack started to run with the pick raised. He stopped Mack and made him sit on a stone. Ollie Melvin, a colored convict said, "I saw the fist fight around the wheel-barrow. I did not see the blow with the pick axe. Mack said, 'I'll get you or both of us wont stay on this job.' He told Brooks that after Brooks had knocked him down." CONVICTS TESTIFY Ellijah Johnson. colored convict said that Brooks had been moving sand before. His story confirmed that of the other convict. Ballard Campbell the colored convict, who separated the men said that the guard told them to cut that out. You'll get in more trouble than you are in now. We started to the sand pile Brooks took the shovels in the wheel-barrow and started on down to the sand hole. There were two men between him and Thomas Mack. Mack seized a pick and ran around and struck Robert Brooks on the back of the neck as he was rolling the wheel-barrow. BROOKS POWERFUL. Winston Riley rendered similar testimony Richard Jones, also a convict testified. "Ballard Campbell separated the man. Mack said, 'You bit me for nothing. I'll get you if it takes the end of my time.' Brooks was a large man, a scientific boxer. He could put one hand behind him and whip two men like Mack." Thomas Mack took the stand. He said that Mr. Archer told him to get the wheel-barrow and when he got through with it to put it inside of the bank. When he attempted to do this, Brooks knocked him down. He told the jury that what he did was when he was in a passion. He was sorry now that he did it. AN AGED WITNESS Witnesses had testified that Mack L. J.

Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago two weaving physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity I am. J. A. PAGE, 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden, 224 West Broad Street.

Jim Archer, who had come in with Attorney Newsome stated that he had raised Thomas Mack from the time he was four years of age. He was not bright. Archer's age was stated as being 75 years. This ended the testimony. Attorney Newsome had at the opening of the trial expressed regret over the delay, stating that he had left home at 4 o'clock that morning in order to get there on time. His car had broken down and was still out of repair. THE ARGUMENT Commonwealth's Attorney argued the case, emphasizing the details and asking for a verdict of first degree murder and asking for the death penalty. Attorney Thorogood made a close analytical statement, pleading extinguating circumstances in the meantime. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome's countenance was a study. When he arose, he won the sympathy of the spectators and the admiration of the practitioners at the bar. The case went to the jury in the body filed out, while Attorney Newsome and his party excused themselves and hastened on the return to Newport News. On Thursday morning, he called up the Planet Office as a result of his effort and was delighted to know that the jury had fixed the punishment of his client at thirty years in the penitentiary. All parties concerned in the defense had feared the infliction of the death penalty. FULTON NOTES: Rev. C. B. Jefferson preached last Sunday morning at Union Baptist Church, South Richmond.
